This invention. relates to hangers for fur scarfs and the like. j j l An object of the inventionl is to provide an improved hanger for use in connection with fur searfs and the like comprising a spring clasp attached to one end portion of the scarf and adapted to be adjusted to .engageappropriately shaped supports in` `order to hang the scarfs from the support;

in combination with a pivoted hanger element in connection with the spring clasp constructed and arranged to be optionally -engaged with supports of different types with which the spring clasp cannot be engaged. f

Another object of the inventionis to provide means for supporting a receptacle', such as a compact Vcase or the like, in Vconnection with a fur scarf and utilize this receptacle as a cover and protector for a hanger member pivotallyv connected .therewith between the receptacle and an adjacent portion of the scarf.

Other objects Vwill be apparentl from the,

being removed.

A portion -of a fur scarf 1 is conventionally shown. This scarf has in rigid connection-with the inner side thereof a jaw 2 of a spring clasp. The lcooperating jawr3 ofl the spring clasp vhas ears 4 extending along side of the ears 5 in connection withfthe jaw 42 and pivotallyv connected therewith by a hinge pin 6. A spring is coiled about the hinge pin 6 and has its endsfj' bearing against the adjacent surfaces ofthe jaws 2 and 3, respectively. The power and energy of this spring is utilizedto press together the Vcurved gripping ends 8 of `the spring clasp. The ends 8 of the spring clasp terminate inwardly a short distance from the endV ofthe fur scarf, so that saidends fdo not i931. serial No. 539,156.

protrude beyond the end of the'furscarfv butw are entirely concealed thereby whenthe scarf is worn.

' clasp of this type maybe manipulated.

land operated soas to clasp on substantially fiat supports or clasp about supportsof cornparatively small di'ameten l L i l V l -v Supports forengagement by the clasp ends 8 are-not always accessible andl available 4in places where itis desired to. hang the fur" scarf.: l provide forr this contingency by Vembodying in the present invention a hanger that' isV normally concealed butgwhi'ch may be moved to extended position so as `to project farbeyondthe clasp ends `8 and beyond-j the end ofthe scarf. This hanger device be moved tothis extended position and then .is constructed anddesigned sothat it may 3 l y engaged with the Vusual or l conventional hooks or nails or rod supports.

In the `embodiment shown, this extendible :hanger comprises a rod or 'wire element shaped to provide a'stem 9 rolled at one end to form an eyelet'lO that is engaged on'a pivot ll rigid with the jaw 3; the opposite end of the element 9 being curved to pro.- videa hook l2. This hook is formed as to lconfiguration and size,s`o that it is easily engageable with hanger` hooks, nails, pegs and rods. Thus, the scarf may be suspended frorn'any of these usually accessible elements oreasily be engaged. j l l A Vwall memberll?) is attached Vtothe pivot 1l and toa number of spacer and 'abutment' pins 14'V and 15 that project from the clasp jaw 3. The `wall V1,3 is lthussupported at a distance from the'jaw 3 to provide a space 16 into: and .from which the hook hanger device, may readily be moved to the position .indicated in Fig. 3 of thedrawing. When `positionbetween thejaw 3 andthe wall 13,`

. the entire hook hanger device is covered and protected by the wall ,13, so thatY itl isfirnpossible for said hook hanger device to be- 3 comeengaged or entangled with the clothing with which Vthe spring clasp can not possibly j `the hook hanger device is in its unoperated l l .of the iwearerof lthefur scarf. .In thisfun-A operated position ofthe hook hanger (v'evice, it Pests eeenststhe Pin 14 i Accordingly,"

Vioo- `this pin 14 serves a double function of supporting the wall 13 in spaced `relationship from the wall 3 and also as a stop for the hook lhanger devicewhen the hook hanger (fes A:form a complete enclosure.

deviceis moved tothe unoperated position shown by broken lines in Fig. 3. The pin 15 serves'the function of'stopping'or limiting extent oit turning movement of the hookV hanger device about lthe pivot l1 when said devicgs moved to its extendedposition andV also serves to cooperate with the pins 11 and 111 to supportthe wall 13. ,Y

The wall 13'may also be used as thebottom wall of a compact case, so that said wall 13 is required to perform the two functions of protecting and vcovering the hook hanger and of providing a bottom wall vfor a case. The side wall '17 of the caseis pressed or bent sok 'as to extend outwardly at right angles from the wallv 13 and thereby provide a caseenclosure to receive and contain a toilet device, suoli as apowder puff 18.

The vclosure orthe case, comprises a wallv 19 having in connection therewith amarginal wall 2O adapted to telescope about the marginal portion 'ofthe wall 17 so as to A bead 21r on the wail 2Ov isadapted to engage lan indentation 22'iornied on krthe wall 17 so as to hold the lid in closedposition. The walls 1 7 and 2G are preferably of resilient metal, so that it' is easy to latch and unlatch the lidin this v manner. Y

The inner side of the wall 19 may be used a support torv a mirror 23. This mirror is covered and enclosed when the lid is closed but lis open and eXposedto' view when the lid is open.

The lioolr 12 may be tuberance 211 which will extend beyond the 'inner end of the case just described, so that said prfrtuberancel may be easily `engaged by the iinger and constitute means for swinging the hook hanger device from its unoperated position to its extended position. This protuberance is" needed because the peripheral 'portionof' the hook 12 isrsmooth yand is entirely covered by the wall 13.

1t is now clear that my invention obtains allot its intended objects and purposes very eiii'ciently Vandy satisfactorily. The hook Y hanger device may be used independently of the toilet case and in connection with/numerous articles other than fur scarfs. I contemplate such variations in construction `and arrangement ofthe device as may be desirr i Iable'pto adapt it for numerous uses, and I also contemplate the application of the device tov use in connectionfwith various 4articles.
